Dave Filoni Finds the Idea of an R-Rated ‘Star Wars’ to Be ‘Interesting’ — with Major Caveats
  • I know lots of people love Dave, but, personally, I would love for him and certain execs at Lucasfilm/Disney to step away from Star Wars and let new people with new ideas step in and do something refreshing, fun, and different.

    An R-rated Star Wars movie means nothing. What's the plot? Who are the characters? If we're getting the same mediocre (or just bad) stories but with more language, violence, and/or sex, then no thank you.

  • Is this correct for the updated blade guard on a radial arm saw?
  • I don't own a radial arm saw, but is that not backwards? The left side of the guard has the smooth slope, which seems like it'd raise up over a workpiece easier than the right side. But take my comment with a grain of salt...

  • Adobe Promises That It Hasn’t Gone Full Big Brother
  • That's absolutely what's going on.

    A fun way to combat this would be to get every artist to add giant, throbbing dicks to everything they create in Photoshop with the hope that it creates the thirstiest, nastiest AI model out there.

  • Randy Travis gets his voice back in a new Warner AI music experiment
  • Wow, it's been so long that I had forgotten about Randy's stroke. Its a real shame that he can't really speak or sing anymore. His voice was amazing.

    On one hand, this use of AI is really cool. There are a few moments of the audio equivalent of "uncanny valley," but overall it's extremely convincing. And if Randy was really as involved in the process as they make it seem, then it's a great way to give him a "voice" again.

    But then again, all this makes me so nervous about the future of the music industry. I really don't want to live in a world where the music charts are full of posthumous singles.

    The Beastles song was a cool use because AI helped clean up an existing performance. Randy Travis releasing a new single using AI to sing for him is a cool opportunity (and maybe some type of closure...?) for him and his family. But I can see the flood gates starting to open...
